Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

“…”

Seeing this, Titan didn't say a word and charged towards the Kingdom. However, he was too slow. Gen Subaru grabbed his hand and carried him to the planet 'Kingdom'. At this moment, a barrier opened on the surface of the planet, blocking the invasion of the green cloud. If it weren't for Titan's help in opening the door, Gen Subaru would have had to work much harder to open it.

"Titan, you're finally back."

At this moment, a group of kingdom soldiers wearing golden helmets and golden cloaks appeared at the landing point of Genjiro and Titan. The squad leader, who was leading the group, said anxiously:

"This unidentified energy is trying to devour our planet. We've tried many methods, but none have been able to effectively attack it, and..."

Before the squad leader could finish speaking, the cyan energy above began to react. Energy particles resembling insect eggs separated from it and crashed onto the energy shield. Immediately, Yuan Mao and Titan saw those things land on the barrier and pass through it as easily as a hot knife through butter.

Then, the energy bodies exploded violently, and raindrops of green energy fell on the building and immediately began to erode it. At the same time, from inside the energy bodies, one by one... cute dolls jumped out.

That's right, they're plush toys, the fluffy kind. There are little rabbits, little dogs, little pandas, and so on. These animal plush toys are all quite large, around fifty meters tall. They're not wearing any weapons and are in freefall, standing or lying down, and some are even falling headfirst to the ground.

Then, a violent tremor came from the ground within Gen Subaru's sight. These seemingly cute things contained terrifying energy, creating disasters that did not match their appearance.

At that moment, Gen Subaru casually waved his hand, and the scattered psychic power supported everything around him. Then, he placed his hand on [Armed Nexus] and shot a particle feather at one of the doll energy bodies. The child then saw a wound appear on the doll's body.

Very well, they don't possess such formidable defenses as Diablo. In that case...

"Taku!"

Gen Subaru took off from the spot, clasped his hands together on the energy core, guided the energy out, and pointed to the sky. The timer lightning storm took shape, and dense lightning and particle feathers flew out from it. Under the lock of Ultra's telekinesis, each falling doll energy body was precisely cut and bombarded, making even the kingdom's soldiers take a step back.

Although the dolls also opened their mouths and spat out beams of energy to resist Subaru's attack, they were instantly overwhelmed by an even more turbulent surge of lightning and particle feathers.

The battle ended in just one minute.

Gen Subaru slowly landed on the ground, exhaled a long breath, but couldn't help taking a step back. He was then quickly supported by the kingdom's soldiers beside him, as the injuries he sustained in the battle with the Azure Energy Diablo were still not completely suppressed.

Meanwhile, Titan had already left, and he needed to quickly put Diablo's heart into the medical bay. He realized that the green energy was causing more harm to his fellow human than he had imagined.

Titan then instructed the soldiers around him to take Gen Subaru to the medical pod to recover as soon as possible after he finished his attack. Gen Subaru's sweeping attack had impressed the kingdom's soldiers present.

Over the past few days, the kingdom's soldiers have repelled countless waves of these doll-like energy attacks. Initially, things were fine; everyone was full of energy, and the kingdom possessed various defensive weapons. Even though most of the kingdom's elite forces were absent, they believed they could protect their homeland in the place of their superiors.

However, such relentless and high-intensity attacks quickly caused the soldiers to complain bitterly. In addition, with the destruction of defensive weapons, it became increasingly difficult to defend, and the number of casualties was rising rapidly. If this continued, it would be difficult for the kingdom's soldiers to maintain their defensive line after only a few more rounds of attacks.

Now, not only has Lord Titan returned, but he has also brought back a super-powerful ally, which is truly exciting news.

However, the most important thing right now is to follow Lord Titan's instructions and let this ally adjust first. Although everyone has reached their limit, they can still buy some more time for the sake of the kingdom!

only....

Just as the kingdom's soldiers were guiding Yuan Mao to the medical pod, the energy clouds in the sky began to move. Under everyone's watchful eyes, they saw that the cloud was like a very elastic dough, constantly changing its shape as if it were being kneaded.

Then, as if by an invisible hand, it was precisely shaped, and a little bird with a small house as its shell appeared above the kingdom, making a very cartoonish call that sounded so comical.

Amidst its cries, Yuan Mao saw the barrier above the kingdom shaking violently. Judging from the expression of the kingdom's soldier squad leader beside him, it was clearly not a good omen.

"Taku!"

Without hesitation, Gen Subaru flew out of the barrier and attacked the cartoon bird. To be honest, Gen Subaru recognized the cartoon bird. Back in Mikami Town, he had played a game called "Cuphead Adventure," and one of the bosses in the game was this cartoon bird. He had fought it for a long time but couldn't beat it, and in the end, he was reluctantly called back home by his grandmother for dinner.

Then, when Genjo was full of confidence and planned to try again the next day, the game console had already been smashed by the parents. The reason was simple: the child was so engrossed in playing that he stayed up all night playing games, which angered his parents. In the ensuing argument, the parents destroyed the console in a fit of rage. Genjo still felt quite regretful about this.

But those memories don't matter anymore. I've found something more important than playing games now. I don't know why you look so much like that boss, but since we've run into each other, let me defeat you again... Wow!

Just as Gen Subaru evolved into his youth form and was preparing to fight, a green shadow suddenly flashed past and instantly blasted Nexus away. It wasn't that the cartoon bird was too fast, but rather that an invisible egg-shaped energy body was hidden beside Gen Subaru.

Completely unaware, Gen Subaru was accurately hit by the cartoon energy object hidden inside the egg. Combined with the power of the egg exploding, Gen Subaru struggled to regain his balance.

Just then, the cartoon bird opened its mouth and sucked all the trap-like eggs into its belly. Then, from its rear end, sparrow-like flying creatures emerged one after another like a machine gun, fluttering and circling around it.

At that moment, Gen Subaru seized the opportunity, using [Saga Super Acceleration] to teleport above the cartoon bird. With a wave of his hands, the vertical guillotine whistled out and slashed down fiercely at its neck.

However, the vertical guillotine strike landed on the cartoon bird without causing any effect, which Yuan Mao found unbelievable. The guillotine strike clearly contained pure white light, so why...?

and many more!

Looking at the fluttering sparrows, Gen Subaru suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself:

"Is it a game mechanic? This... can't be right?!"

141 Pure White: The Evolution of the Primal

Subaru still remembered the BOSS mechanics from the game, but he couldn't understand why this had happened, or why a game he used to play had become his enemy.

But no matter what, the first priority right now is to get rid of this monstrosity as soon as possible. First, take down the sparrow, then launch a fierce attack on the cartoon bird's head and get through the first stage!

Immediately, Gen Subaru clasped his hands together, and a torrent of energy surged between his palms. As Nexus pushed forward, homing beams trailing flames shot towards the sparrows.

However, the cartoon bird then nimbly flew upwards, distancing itself from the sparrows and homing bullets circling around it. Then, the cartoon bird opened its beak and spat out a bird egg with colorful patterns, which triggered a violent explosion that wiped out all the homing bullets.

At the same time, the sparrows flashed red light and began to rush towards Yuan Mao in a flurry of motion. They were extremely fast, and because there were so many of them, they hadn't collided with each other yet. So, it was quite unsettling to see such a large group of things rushing towards him.

However, this was just right. Nexus's entire body radiated light, and light particles surged towards the flock of sparrows like mist. Then, he crossed his hands, and as [Armed Nexus] rubbed against each other, sparks flew. Guided by Subaru, the sparks were directed and detonated the dense cloud of light particles. In an instant, the violent explosion resembled a sun hanging above the kingdom.

but....

Yuan Mao stared at the sparrow that had flown out of the explosion unharmed and fell silent for a moment. Only now did he vaguely recall that in the game, if you were playing a difficult level, this sparrow seemed to be immune to damage and would only disappear on its own after enduring a certain number of attacks.

Well, so there's a hidden mechanism waiting for me here.

Gen Subaru stared at the sparrows with a black line on his face, and could only helplessly decide to avoid them. But at this moment, Titan rushed over with his sword, intending to help Gen Subaru out of the predicament.

At that moment, the cartoon bird turned around and sprayed a dense barrage of eggshell fragments at the Titan. The Titan instinctively swung its sword, unleashing sword energy, trying to cleave through the attack and put further pressure on the cartoon bird.

But at that moment, Titan heard Subaru's warning, but it was too late. His slashing wave passed through the incoming eggshell fragments. Titan hurriedly dodged, but a fragment still hit his calf. In an instant, Titan was sent flying as if he had been hit head-on by a cosmic truck.

"How is this going?"

After being caught by Subaru, Titan looked at the cartoon bird in front of him with some confusion and said softly:

"I have never seen such a bizarre attack."

"Well, Mr. Titan, remember this: apart from spitting out eggs, which can be negated, don't try to block any of this monster's attacks. No matter where it hits you, it will deduct one-third of your health. And if we want to deal effective damage to it, we can only target these sparrows first..."

Genma quickly explained the BOSS's mechanics to Titan, then conjured an energy ball in his hand and threw it at the flock of sparrows rushing towards him. He then pulled Titan away from the spot, dodging the hurricane blades thrown by the cartoon birds.

Upon contact with the first sparrow, the ball of energy immediately began to split and bounce, spreading rapidly throughout the entire flock like a bouncy ball, striking them repeatedly until the entire flock was wiped out.

"Quick, now!"

Upon seeing the sparrow disappear, Gen Subaru immediately ordered Titans to attack, but they also had to be extremely cautious. Although the cartoon bird could now be damaged after the sparrow's disappearance, it had turned completely red and entered a berserk state. In this state, even a single touch would result in a major setback in the game mechanics, roughly equivalent to being stunned, losing health, and then inflicting a slow debuff.

Fortunately, the red-eared cartoon bird doesn't have any other skills, only...

"puff!"

"Goo!"

The moment the cartoon bird started moving, Gen Subaru and Titan coughed up blood. Titan was immediately on the verge of death. Gen Subaru, relying on his intuition, managed to avoid the cartoon bird's attack, but the impact of Titan hitting him caused him to black out.

Isn't this cartoon bird's acceleration attack a bit too fast...?

Subaru used his clone to send the incapacitated Titan back to the kingdom. Meanwhile, after experiencing an impact, Subaru took a deep breath, carefully sensing his surroundings. His mind cleared, and dark energy gathered in his left hand, causing his fist to visibly swell. Then…

I've got you!

In the instant the crisis struck, Gen Subaru suddenly opened his eyes, locked onto the location of the cartoon bird, and slammed his left fist into its head. With a sharp bang, Gen Subaru and the cartoon bird passed each other. Nexus's left hand, along with half of its body, disappeared, and the cartoon bird's eyes began to swirl, ceasing all movement.

At this point, the BOSS has entered a state where it takes double damage. According to the game mechanics, as long as the damage is sufficient, this round can take down its first phase!

Thinking of this, Nexus's body flashed, and two clones, one white and one black, appeared. They were like spiral drills, burning as they rapidly attacked the cartoon bird. After the violent explosion, Gen Subaru's face darkened as he saw the cartoon bird stick out its tongue, which meant... the damage was still a little short!

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared. He crossed his hands in front of him to concentrate his energy, then pushed his palms forward, firing out a wide-range lightning-shaped beam of light wrapped in golden lightning. It hit the cartoon bird accurately, causing the house coat on the BOSS to explode.

Upon seeing this move, the kingdom's soldiers on the ground were immediately invigorated, for this move was [Absolute Destruction], Tartarus's ultimate attack!

Indeed, it was Tartarus who appeared at this crucial moment, having rushed over as fast as he could. Looking at Nexus, who was attempting to repair his body, he tentatively asked, somewhat uncertainly:

"Huck?"

"Huh?! Ah!!!"

To be honest, when he first heard the name, Gen Subaru didn't react at first, but then he remembered something and quickly replied:

“Mr. Tartarus, we meet again.”

"Ah... we meet again, this is truly... delightful."

Tartarus didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment. He could only say that after the initial shock and joy, he felt somewhat numb. His calm tone made even Tartarus himself feel that something was off.

However, Yuan Mao was not in the mood to chat with him at the moment. Thanks to the properties of the light particle aggregate, as long as there was enough energy, even if it was missing an arm or a leg, it could still be repaired.

At the same time, Gen Subaru frowned slightly and looked at Tartarus, saying:

"Mr. Tartarus, why are you still so badly injured? Did you not use my energy?"

"Ah... this, I can't bear to part with it..."

In response to Gen Subaru's question, Tartarus coughed and replied that after studying the pure white light, he discovered that this magical energy could be used in almost any field he knew, such as stabilizing the Kingdom's Cascade Ray and slowing down the destruction of their home planet.

Therefore, after realizing this, Tartarus did not use any of the pure white light on himself. After sealing it properly in the Narac space, he dragged his heavily injured body and hurried towards the kingdom.

Then, after arriving nearby, he noticed the battle taking place and hurriedly joined in.

"Alright, Mr. Tartarus, let's stop this small talk. The enemy's invincibility period during form switching has ended."

At this moment, Gen Subaru looked at the cartoon bird whose feathers had grown many more and said:

“Catch its attack and throw the feather back; that’s how you end its second phase, Mr. Tartarus. I think… you and I might have a clever way.”
